The OpenGL and D3D renderers 1.2 plugin (d3d-ogl12.zip) is on the Emulator Zone.
 
Download and unzip the renderers plugin.
Inside this is a file called renderer.cfg and 2 folders with D3D and OpenGL versions of the Zinc renderer. These have the same filename but are different.
Decide which version of the renderer.znc file you want to use and copy it into the root of your Zinc emulator folder.
Copy the renderer.cfg file into the root of your Zinc emulator folder. Overwrite the existing file when asked.

Tekken 3 plays ok with Zinc 1.1 apart from sound issues.

With Zinc some keys copy MAME while other differ. See the readme inside of the Zinc folder.

To start Tekken 3
5 sets credit Player 1
1 starts Player 1
Cursor Left Right selects your character
A accepts character and begins the game

Move with the cursors and fight with A, S, D, Z, X, C

Place your tekken3.zip in to the roms folder in your Zinc folder. Do not unzip it.
Add the game to LaunchBox by pointing LaunchBox to your Zinc exe file and putting the number 61 in the parameters box. This number is correct for Zinc version 1.1.
Select NO in the LaunchBox Specify Emulator popup.
See image below.

Note that Tekken 3 will run under Zinc with some sound issues, and may also run slow depending on your hardware.
